The ethicist

WE PLAN to adopt a child through an open adoption in which the birth mother selects prospective parents. We do not consider ourselves religious, although we are of Christian heritage, so would it be unethical to describes ourselves as Christian in the application to increase our chances of being chosen?

People with a wide range of beliefs and behaviours sincerely identify themselves as Christian, from those who attend church daily to those who would need a floor plan to find the font (assuming that they could locate the church in the first place).
